After receiving Zhao Junchen's response, Zhang Yu'er left the study shyly and expectantly.
Zhao Junchen fell into deep thought again.
After a long time, Zhao Junchen ordered Xu Qingyan: "Send a reliable person to Nanzhili to deliver a message to Li Chuanwen and Xiao Wenxuan, telling them that they can implement another plan. The attention of both the government and the opposition will be focused on it for some time to come. Jiangnan and Nanjing Six Ministries are a good opportunity for them to take action."
Although Xu Qingyan lacks ability and character, he is more than adequate in terms of loyalty and confidentiality. He is Zhao Junchen's true confidant. Naturally, he is what Zhao Junchen refers to as "another plan".
In short, once this plan succeeds, Zhao Junchen's power and influence will leap forward, and he will be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with Zhou Shangjing.
Therefore, after hearing Zhao Junchen's instructions, Xu Qingyan's eyes flashed with excitement, and he nodded and went to do it immediately.
However, not long after leaving the study, Xu Qingyan returned to the study with a slightly strange look on his face.
Seeing Xu Qingyan's appearance, Zhao Junchen felt a little confused and asked, "What's going on? What happened?"
Xu Qingyan's expression became more and more weird, and he explained to Zhao Junchen: "Master, I just received a report that there is a visitor outside the house, and I am anxious to see you... This visitor is Su Xiuning."
After hearing Xu Qingyan's explanation, Zhao Junchen was also stunned.
"Su Xiuning? Su Changzhen's daughter? Now that Su Changzhen has been convicted, Su Xiuning, as a family member of the prisoner, should be imprisoned. How can she still move freely and come to the house to meet me?"
Xu Qingyan was also confused and shook his head: "I don't know what's going on, but Su Xiuning is holding Mr. Gu Quan's letter in her hand and is accompanied by Mr. Gu's entourage. This matter seems to have something to do with Mr. Gu."
"Gu Quan? Is it related to him?" Zhao Junchen was still a little confused.
After thinking for a moment, Zhao Junchen finally recalled that it seemed that when Gu Quan went to Nanzhili for business, he had specifically told Gu Quan to take good care of Su Xiuning and not to let Su Xiuning suffer too much.
Zhao Junchen's instructions were not because he had any special thoughts. It was just that he had a relationship with Su Xiuning after all, and he did not want Su Xiuning to be vilified after being implicated by Su Changzhen. In the Ming Dynasty, the situation of the family members of prisoners was It's very miserable, and they even have to be sent to remote places and demoted to the happy household registration.
But Zhao Junchen had no intention of rescuing him. According to Zhao Junchen's opinion, as long as Gu Quan could be punished lightly and Su Xiuning's personal safety could be preserved, it would be considered worthy of their original friendship.
However, Gu Quan misunderstood Zhao Junchen's intention. Not only did he secretly rescue Su Xiuning, but he also sent Su Xiuning to the Zhao mansion. Apparently he mistakenly thought that Zhao Junchen fell in love with Su Xiuning, so he took the opportunity to please Zhao Junchen.
After figuring out the whole story, Zhao Junchen frowned slightly and said slowly: "Gu Quan is really smart. He doesn't usually have any great abilities. Instead, he just wants to flatter others..."
Xu Qingyan asked: "So, young master, do you want to see her?"
Zhao Junchen hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said: "After all, we have had a relationship. Since she is here, let's meet her... Arrange her in the side hall, and I will go over to see her in a while."
Xu Qingyan nodded, and then followed Zhao Junchen's instructions.
On the other side, Zhao Junchen was secretly thinking about how he should face Su Xiuning - Zhao Junchen had already guessed Su Xiuning's intention. In some ways, Su Xiuning was more difficult to deal with than Zhang Yu'er.
When Su Xiuning entered the Zhao Mansion, she felt quite embarrassed.
According to Su Changzhen's instructions, she should come as close as possible to please Zhao Junchen, become Zhao Junchen's concubine, and then use Zhao Junchen's power to protect the future of the Su family.
However, Su Xiuning was a lady in the traditional sense. Although she was soft on the outside and strong on the inside, she lacked a decisiveness in her character and could not let go of her reserve. She is proficient in all things about men, but when it comes to ways to please men and cater to them, she only knows a little about it.
After entering the side hall of Zhao Mansion, Su Xiu Ning sat quietly in the guest seat. Her originally bright eyes lost focus and she just stared at her feet. Anyone could see that she was confused.
After seeing Su Xiuning's behavior, a look of pity flashed in the eyes of a woman behind her, but she still said to Su Xiuning: "Ning'er, remember, when you see Mr. Zhao later, you will follow the routine taught by my aunt. Just do it, with your appearance and beauty, you will definitely get what you want."
This woman is dressed as a housekeeper. Now she is half the age of the old lady, but her charm is still there. It is obvious that she was a stunning beauty when she was young.
This woman's name was Xiangzhi. She was originally a famous prostitute in the Qinhuai River. After being redeemed by Su Changzhen, she became Su Changzhen's concubine. She did have some real feelings for Su Changzhen. After learning about Su Changzhen's fate, not only did she not distance herself from the relationship, but she was willing to try her best to help Su Xiuning. Not only did she teach Su Xiuning many charming tricks, but now she followed Su Xiuning to the capital to ask for an audience. Zhao Junchen just wanted to help the Su family get out of trouble.
Because of this, Su Xiuning respected Xiangzhi very much and called her "Aunt Xiang". After hearing Xiangzhi's instructions, she finally came to her senses, sighed softly, nodded and said, "Aunt Xiang" Don’t worry, Xiu’er understands.”
Seeing Su Xiuning's appearance, her expression seemed calm, but there was panic and confusion in her eyes. Aunt Xiang also sighed softly, stretched out her hand to touch Su Xiuning's crotch, and said softly: "Good boy, I really can't help you. You were originally born as our young lady, but to ask you to do such a thing is totally inconsistent with your nature... But now the future fate of the young and old of the Su family rests entirely on your shoulders, you..."
Before Aunt Xiang finished speaking, she heard the sound of footsteps.
Then, Aunt Xiang quickly shut up and stepped aside, signaling Su Xiuning to calm down with her eyes.
Then, Zhao Junchen stepped into the side hall.
Seeing Zhao Junchen's appearance, Su Xiuning quickly stood up to greet him.
On the other side, Zhao Junchen was slightly stunned after seeing Su Xiuning's current appearance.
After not seeing each other for a few months, Su Xiuning was much thinner than before, but considering the affairs of the Su family, Zhao Junchen was not surprised.
What really surprised Zhao Junchen was that Su Xiuning had to dress up at this time.
Judging from the perspective of this era, Su Xiuning's dress is really bold. She wears a light green long skirt that is a little thin and seems to be torn if it is torn. The waist is obviously deliberately tied up, making her waist appear slender. , but it highlights the curve of the hips, and the neckline of the top is also deliberately opened a little, which not only vaguely reveals half of the snow-white and delicate shoulders, but also makes her beautiful neck particularly conspicuous with the clouded temples.
At the same time, Su Xiuning's makeup was also different from usual. She still wore light makeup, but it had an extra hint of charm and frailty.
Obviously, the person who directed Su Xiuning's makeup was well aware of men's psychology. There was nothing wrong with this outfit on the surface, but the looming snow-white shoulders, the faintly curved waist and hips, and the particularly conspicuous neck skin, combined with Su Xiuning's appearance, seemed seductive. Fragile makeup is particularly attractive to men, making them subconsciously explore deeply!
However, after seeing Su Xiuning dressed like this, Zhao Junchen's eyes first flashed with surprise, and then he sighed.
Zhao Junchen first walked to the main seat and sat down, then nodded to Su Xiuning and said: "Miss Su, you're welcome. The two of us are old friends. If you have anything to do, we'd better sit down and talk."
However, Su Xiuning did not sit down as instructed by Zhao Junchen. Instead, she walked up to Zhao Junchen and curtsied, and said to Zhao Junchen with a particularly weak and helpless expression: "Sir, now Xiuning's father has been arrested. , the tribesmen have also been imprisoned one after another, Xiu Ning is already homeless, I hope you can take care of the past friendship and take Xiu Ning in for a while, Xiu Ning will definitely...will repay you."
When she knelt down and saluted, her already cinched clothes were slightly tightened, which further highlighted Su Xiuning's figure curves, and the snow-white skin on her neck was even more eye-catching.
At the same time, Su Xiuning's words made people think even more, as if they were all at your disposal.
However, when speaking, Su Xiuning stumbled a little, and even her delicate body trembled slightly, but it dissipated the charming and alluring temperament in the plan.
Seeing Su Xiuning's appearance, Zhao Junchen sighed softly again.
Then, Zhao Junchen said slowly: "I just said that we have been friends for a long time. To be honest, although I have never planned to marry you from the beginning to the end, I have always had a good impression of you. , if you have any request, just say it, but you don’t have to deliberately make yourself inferior... This kind of thing is not suitable for you in the first place."
Zhao Junchen's tone was calm, without much pity or disgust, just plain and straightforward.
But precisely because of this, it actually moved Su Xiuning's heart even more.
After hearing what Zhao Junchen said, Su Xiuning was slightly stunned at first.
Then, for some reason, the sadness, grievance, panic, weakness, etc. that had been suppressed in my heart for a long time burst out in an instant.
All the charming tricks that Aunt Xiang had taught her were completely forgotten by Su Xiuning at this moment.
Then, Su Xiuning's still barely calm expression was suddenly unable to maintain it anymore, and two lines of clear tears streaked down her cheeks.
In the end, she took off all her disguises and gave up all her tricks, but she knelt down heavily in front of Zhao Junchen, sobbing and asking for help: "Master Zhao, please save my father, please save me." Save the Su family...but now only you can help Xiuning..."
Seeing this scene, Aunt Xiang behind Su Xiuning shook her head slightly, seeming a little regretful, but not surprised.
On the other side, seeing Su Xiuning's appearance, Zhao Junchen sighed again, stood up and helped Su Xiuning up.
After reaching out to wipe Su Xiuning's tears, Zhao Junchen said slowly: "If you are homeless, I can buy you a house. If you are worried that your father is too miserable in prison, I can also let him People are tolerant, if you want to save your brothers and nephews, I can also wait until the limelight has passed and find a way...but saving your father alone is not enough."
As Zhao Junchen finished speaking, Su Xiuning's body trembled suddenly.
She had just abandoned all pretense and tricks and placed all her hopes on Zhao Junchen, but she did not expect that Zhao Junchen would reject her so directly.
Zhao Junchen continued: "Your father's crime has been confirmed. The next three-division trial is just a formality. Your Su family's property has all been confiscated. Even I can't reverse the situation... ...What's more, don't blame me for speaking too bluntly. Your father is indeed a corrupt official, and he is far more unscrupulous than most corrupt officials. Now that he is in such a situation, it is his own fault. If I help you for him If you get away with it, you and the Su family will certainly be happy, but the court and the people will not agree, so this matter is absolutely impossible."
Seeing Zhao Junchen sanctimoniously accusing Su Changzhen of being a corrupt official, Su Xiuning felt extremely ironic.
Su Changzhen was a corrupt official, so he had to take the blame on himself. What about Zhao Junchen? Isn't Zhao Junchen a corrupt official? Why sit here and talk nonsense?
Feeling that Zhao Junchen had deceived her and was completely unwilling to help her, Su Xiuning couldn't help but feel a little impulsive. She looked directly at Zhao Junchen and said, "My father tried every possible means to establish a relationship with Mr. Zhao, but Mr. Zhao just... No comment, obviously Mr. Zhao, you have already predicted that my father will end up today? Now, Mr. Zhao has nothing to do with my father, so naturally he can sit back and watch my father suffer for himself, thinking that he is a corrupt official who deserves his punishment, but Mr. Zhao, you What? If one day you are going to be convicted by the court, can you still say these things as a matter of course? Do you think you brought it on yourself? "
As Su Xiuning finished speaking, Aunt Xiang's expression behind her suddenly changed!
She originally thought that Su Xiuning was just not good at pretending, completely forgetting her previous teachings and instructions, and directly cried and begged Zhao Junchen, but this was not necessarily a bad thing, at least it could arouse Zhao Junchen's compassion and desire for protection.
Unexpectedly, Su Xiuning directly exposed Zhao Junchen's shortcomings because of Zhao Junchen's temporary rejection, compared Zhao Junchen with Su Changjin, and said that Zhao Junchen would also be accused by the court in the future... In this way , wouldn’t he completely offend Zhao Junchen? Why is Zhao Junchen still willing to help the Su family?
So, Aunt Xiang quickly raised her head and looked at Zhao Junchen, ready to stand up and smooth things over at any time.
However, unexpectedly, after hearing Su Xiuning's question, Zhao Junchen had no intention of getting angry, and his expression was extremely calm. He just said slowly: "Ever since I understood what I had done, I I have already been mentally prepared. If that day comes and the court and the people can no longer tolerate me, I will accept it calmly. I deserve it!"
While speaking, Zhao Junchen still had a calm expression and his tone was still straight, without any emotional fluctuations.

Now is the period of severe crackdown, and "holding hands or more" cannot be described. Otherwise, once enthusiastic people report it, this book will be closed, so you should not have high expectations for sex scenes and the like.
